John Dalrymple, 10th Earl of Stair

Stone axe, Wigtownshire (2)

Period:

Neolithic

Description:

A small polished stone axe with a narrow, pointed butt.

This axe was made at the Neolithic stone axe quarry at
Tievebulliagh in Northern Ireland and is one of only a small number
of Irish axes found in south-west Scotland. It is unfortunate
that we do not have any information on where it was discovered.
